A hot sunny day, feeling like 30 °C even after we account for wind, and warm water temperature (20 °C) too at Ansteys. Surfers may need a thin summer wetsuit or at least a rash vest to block the UV. Otherwise, warm enough for just board shorts.

Ansteys water temperatures peak in the range 25 to 27°C (77 to 81°F) on around the 3rd of February and are at their lowest on about the 1st of August, in the range 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F). Year round warm water temperatures at Ansteys climb to their highest at the start of February. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. Ansteys water temperatures are lowest at the beginning of August. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up.
